LDC 1.38.0-beta1
Glad to announce the first beta for LDC 1.38. Major changes: * Based on D 2.108.0+ (yesterday's DMD stable). * Support for LLVM 18; the prebuilt packages use v18.1.3. * Android: Switch to native ELF TLS, supported since API level 29 (Android v10), dropping our former custom TLS emulation (requiring a modified LLVM and a legacy ld.bfd linker). The prebuilt packages themselves require Android v10+ (armv7a) / v11+ (aarch64) too, and are built with NDK r26d. Shared druntime and Phobos libraries are now available (`-link-defaultlib-shared`), as on regular Linux. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.38.0-beta1 Please help test, and thanks to all contributors & sponsors!

The talk was well received, and I've challenged folks to try D for an hour through the D Lang Tour. :) Slides are available below, and I believe the video of the talk will be posted in the coming months for free on YouTube. https://mshah.io/conf/24/ACCU%202024%20_%20How%20DLang%20Improves%20my%20Modern%20C++%20and%20Vice%20Versa.pdf
CBOR with Mir Ion
Mir-Ion 2.3.0 [got](https://github.com/libmir/mir-ion/blob/master/source/mir/ser/cbor.d) CBOR serialzation. It is the fastest Mir serialization target. I have no plans for CBOR deserialization. It can be implemented using the MsgPack deserialization target as a draft.
